[English]

Taking Valium, on stage there's beer and Coke

I'm never on time, don't bust my balls

I only rock Bapestas, Dillom doesn't wear flip-flops

Drinking at the spots where they bounce you

Ah, Tanqueray and tonic, you know what I mean?

I'm hanging in the lobby like it's The Sims

Bohemian Groove, bitch, 'till I get a better deal

Rocking all the shows, I'm like the Dead Kennedys

Mm, nice pussy, sounds like fettuccine

I'm making a lot of money, Mario Pergolini, ah

I smoke it in a pipe and I shovel in the cash

The preppy girls love Dillom like Tame Impala

Bitch sniffin' cocaine, they bore me like Coldplay

I don't play fair, my bitch is into roleplay

I'm an idiot with money, I used to sleep among the rats

I used to pick fights with people who would kill me if they caught me

It's easy for them to like me now that I don't have scabies

I'm not going back to that shit even if they hold me at gunpoint

It's Friday the thirteenth and we're acting like pickpockets

We're going to Recoleta to loot a couple of graves

I'm a slayer, player, and that hater is lying

My money moves on its own, it's independent

I have voices in my mind that lie to me, lie

They convince me to go and kill people, people

I'm a slayer, player, and that hater is lying

My money moves on its own, it's independent

I have voices in my mind that lie to me, lie

They convince me to go and kill people

I drink more than Barney, your bitch is feeling horny

She smokes like Marley, I want brain and I'm no zombie

I'm driving wasted, I crash into everything, it's a derby

My buddy got locked up, he plays the piano like Herbie

The bag is Balenci' and the sneakers are Raf Simons

My buddies smoke that loud, and I'm not talking about bacon, ah

Rapper with the red asterisk, Red Hot Chili Peppers

Going down in the elevator to hell, floor 13

[Spanish]

Tomando Valyum, en el escenario hay birra y Coca

Nunca llego a horario, no me rompan las pelotas

Solo rockeo Bapesta, el Dillom no anda en ojota'

Escabiando algo en los lugare' donde te rebotan

Ah, Tanqueray con tonic, you know what I mean?

'Toy haciendo lobbie' como si fueran Los Sims

Bohemian Groove, puta, 'till I get a better deal

Rockeando to' los shows, soy como los Dead Keneddys

Mm, buena pussy, suena como fettuccine

'Toy haciendo mucha plata, Mario Pergolini, ah

Me la fumo en pipa y la levanto en pala

La' mili' aman a Dillom como a Tame Impala

Bitch sniffin' cocaine, me aburren como Coldplay

Si juego no hago fair play, a mi puta le va el role play

Soy un boludo con plata, ante' dormía entre las rata'

Buscaba roña con gente que si me agarra me mata

Es muy fácil que me quieran ahora que no tengo sarna

No vuelvo a esa shit ni aunque me apunten con un arma

Es noche de viernes trece y no' mandamos en punga

Vamos pa' Recoleta y saqueamo' un par de tumba'

Soy un slayer, player y ese hater miente

Mi plata se mueve sola, es independiente

Tengo voces en mi mente que me mienten, mienten

Me convencen pa' que vaya a matar gente, gente

Soy un slayer, player y ese hater miente

Mi plata se mueve sola, es independiente

Tengo voces en mi mente que me mienten, mienten

Me convencen pa' que vaya a matar gente

Escabio más que Barney, tu puta anda horny

Ella fuma como Marley, quiero brain y no soy zombie

Voy manejando en pedo, choco todo, es un derby

Mi compi cayó en cana, toca el piano como Herbie

La cartera es Balenci' y las zapa' son Raf Simons

Mis compi' fuman grasa y no te hablo de tocino, ah

Rapero con el asterisco rojo, Red Hot Chilli Peppers

Bajando en ascensor hasta el infierno, piso 13
